Colloids are homogeneous mixtures to start, and that the molecules in Colloids are much larger than other solvent-like mixtures, also called a colloidal particle. Also the mixture is more evenly distributed, unlike others where it is unbalanced (heterogeneous mixtures).

A colloid has particles spread out through evenly (eg. Yarra river in Melbourne, Australia- it's brown). An emulsion is a mixture.

How much gunpowder in a stick of dynamite?

None. Dynamite is a different product altogether. Originally, it was nitroglycerin soaked into an absorbent powder (diatomeceous earth). Today's explosives use quite different formulas, including varied chemicals- but no gunpowder. BTW, dynamite "sticks" may be 1 inch by 6 inches, up to 5 inches by 30 inches, but most of the explosives that I use are in the form of flowable pellets, gels, or emulsions (similar to mayonnaise)
